Diocese of Durham marriage bonds and allegations

FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org) has "recently updated or added" a new database as of March 21st which may be of interest to those with ancestors from the diocese of Durham:

England, Durham Diocese, Calendar of Marriage Bonds & Allegations, 1594-1815
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1840743

The collection, which at the moment is a browse only based database, was compiled circa 1900 - a full description is available at https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/England,_Durham_Diocese,_Calendar_of_Marriage_Bonds_and_Allegations_(FamilySearch_Historical_Records).

  1. I'm very confused by this post - the Durham diocese marriage bonds and allegations calendar (and the bonds and allegations themselves) have been available as browsable images for ages - at least 2 or 3 years, I think.

  2. It's possible this is an updated database, rather than new, but definitely showing as a new or updated database as of 21 Mar 2014. Have amended the wording in the post.
